"Andy Warhol would like to have been Edie Sedgwick. He would like to have been a charming, well-born debutante from Boston. He would like to have been anybody except Andy Warhol."

Lena Horne gave parties in her West End Avenue apartment frequently during the run of Jamaica, composed by Harold Arlen, in which Shayne understudied Ricardo Montalban. Horne graciously invited Sunshine to accompany him to the parties. But years later, Shayne went backstage to see Horne after her one- woman Broadway show and was greeted without any sign of affection. Rather, she berated him by saying, ‘Mr.Mogul…how come you never got me a job, Mr. Mogul?”

Alan Shayne with George Cukor.
Mr. Shayne started his career as an actor on Broadway and in television before eventually becoming president of Warner Brothers Television, from which he retired in 1986. During his tenure there, he was responsible for launching such hit shows as "Wonder Woman," "Dukes of Hazard," "Alice," and "Night Court," among others. He began his career in television with David Susskind's production company, after heading the Broadway casting office for David Merrick. Both struggled, however, to keep their personal lives from affecting their professional lives, as homosexuality was an inevitable death sentence for one's career. Though Mr. Sunshine admitted it was easier for him as an artist, it was not so for Mr. Shayne. They recount a story when it was made clear by their employers that such a "lifestyle" must be kept quiet.
